Basher51's Bluff and Bluster

Here it is, the 4th of July right around the corner, and I've been to the pistol range exactly once this year and shot probably a dozen rounds at the most.  My Glock and my Springfield XD have got to be getting lonely!

Typically I like to celebrate the 4th of July with a little pistol shootin' at the range.  I gotta get there this 4th. Last night I even had a dream about shooting where a guy corrected my grip.  Perhaps that's a omen of things to come?   I've found that if I don't practice my grip and my draw that my accuracy goes down the tubes in quick order.  Getting the right grip on a consistent basis is no small matter.  Too much pressure with the lower fingers, too much of your trigger finger pulling the trigger, even a slight turn of the wrist, can send your shot every other place but the target.  I have a diagnostic target that I'm going to set up and take a whack at.  The club that I belong to doesn't allow us to draw from a holster. So, I need to practice that in the basement with dummy rounds.

If I get a chance to get to the range before the 4th, I'm going to have to do it.  I bought that darn club membership just so that I could go to the range when I felt like it and not have to drive all the way to The Shooters Shop and pay $15 for the privilege.

Dang!  I can't believe that I wasted all Spring on work!
